Chapter 57: I Can't Accept It
"I don't know? I just can't accept it, their way of life is so dirty! Li Shimin took a deep breath and slightly relieved his tumbling stomach.
"Hehe......."
Li Zhi smiled and asked, "Father, where is that messenger?" Erchen wants to go and see it! ”
"You'd better not go!"
"Why?"
"It's dirty...... He's covered in mud, and even his hair is covered in mud, and if you want to see him, you're going to vomit on the spot! How much rudeness? ”
Li Shimin disagreed.
But this is not difficult for Li Zhi.
After many inquiries, he learned that the envoy lived in the post house.
"Rotong!"
"In!"
"Come with me to the post house, I want to see the messenger of the Nanni tribe, hehe...... I heard that he is very dirty and smells foul all over his body, and you better bring a nasal plug to avoid vomiting! ”
Although Luo Tong is young, he also knows some etiquette.
It was already rude for them to rush to the post house to meet the envoy.
If you have a stuffy nose, you obviously dislike the smell of other people's bodies.
That's even more rude!
In case the messenger felt discriminated against and insulted, he ran away in a fit of rage.
Their sins will be great!
"Your Highness...... Isn't that right? ”
"Nothing bad! Don't worry, the messenger of the Nanni tribe won't be so stingy, I still want to ask him for some yellow mud, hehe, that's called rudeness! ”
Luo Tong didn't understand what Li Zhi was talking about.
What's the use of asking for yellow mud?
Is it also like Nanniren, used to eat?
……
Under Li Zhi's coercion and temptation, Luo Tong still stood with him and secretly went to the post house.
Come to the door.
Luo Tong knocked on the door: "Is there anyone?" ”
"Who's out there?"
A little fat man came out and opened the door.
Suddenly!
The foul smell is coming!
This stench cannot be described in words. Think of decades of not taking a shower, covered in mud and sweat. Just know how bad their stench is.
"Wow......." Luo Tong couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and spit out.
"it!"
"You almost threw up on me!"
Li Zhi cleverly dodged.
Seeing that the little fat man was smiling and didn't care much, Li Zhi stepped forward and said: "I am the ninth son of the Tang Emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I specially came to greet the envoy, may I ask who the envoy is?" ”
"That's me!"
"Come in, please!" He welcomed the two of them in very warmly.
The Nanni tribe lives in the wild all year round, and can live in a shed, without too many requirements for life. They don't even need bedding or other household items, no different from the habits of wild animals.
Plainly......
Only a little better than the Savages!
This time, the Chef God Conference was held, and for some reason, they took the initiative to ask to participate. Moreover, Li Zhi couldn't understand that the Nanni tribe fed on the soil, how could they compete?
Is it like him, using dirt as an ingredient?
Come into the house and sit down.
The messenger actually knelt down in front of Li Zhi and made a big salute: "The villain greets His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”
"Please, please...... I'm a three-year-old doll, how can I stand such a big gift from you! Isn't that what I need to do? Li Zhi helped him up.
However......
Just as his hand was about to touch the messenger, the messenger shrank back and got up by himself: "Your Highness, the villain is dirty!" ”
"Why did the messenger say this?"
Li Zhi was stunned.
Although he thinks so in his heart, he still has to show respect for people on his face.
But the messenger didn't care at all.
He smiled and said: "Your Highness, the villain knows that the Nanni clan uses soil as food and decorations, and they don't wash the stains on their bodies all year round, and they are a little dirty. His Royal Highness is the dragon and phoenix among people, how can he defile His Highness because of the villain? ”
Li Zhi and Luo Tong glanced at each other.
I feel that the messenger in front of me really doesn't have a little severance.
There is no half point of arrogance.
Generally speaking, when envoys worship the Tang Dynasty, there will be a little discrimination in their hearts. They will feel that their life and culture are better, and they will look down on Datang.
But for the Nanni tribe, there is no such arrogance.
After some conversation.
Li Zhi understood.
The reason why Nanniren came to participate in the Kitchen God Conference was actually just a disguise, and their real purpose was to surrender to Datang and get Datang's blessing and help.
"I see!"
"I don't know what the messenger is called?" Li Zhi asked.
"Back to Your Highness, just call me Li Nan!"
"Li Nan?" Li Zhi said in surprise: "You Nanni clan, are you all surnamed Li?" ”
"No, no......." He waved his hand and replied: "The surname of our Nanni clan is not the same as that of the Central Plains. However, since I came to Datang and saw the wind of the kingdom, I admired it in my heart, so I changed my name, and I will be surnamed Li in the future. ”
"Huh!"
Li Zhi was also drunk.
Can I change my last name at will?
That's child's play, isn't it?
"Please rest assured, the Tang Emperor will definitely help you to build a better life. But before that, I want to learn the cooking skills of your Nanni tribe, I heard that you feed on the soil, is it true? ”
"Back to Your Highness, it's true!"
……
"The soil of our Nanni tribe is not the same as that of the Central Plains, it is a kind of yellow mud on the high mountains, which can be used for consumption after special treatment. However, compared to the diet of the Tang Dynasty, it is too far behind, how can His Highness want to learn? ”
Li Nan was puzzled.
Datang's technology is so good, and the food culture is prosperous.
How did you become interested in the mud diet of the Nanni tribe? Isn't that kidding him?
"Your Highness......."
"You don't want to teach me, do you?"
"I don't dare to preach, if Your Highness has any requests, I will try my best to meet them!" Li Nan replied.
"Yay!"
Li Zhi hurriedly instructed Luo Tong to go and prepare the relevant tools.
With the help of Li Nan.
I made a meal of yellow mud cakes.
Cakes are served.
Li Nan said: "These yellow muds were given to me by the patriarch when I left the Nanni clan. I was worried that I would have no food to eat in Datang, so I didn't think about it...... Now it's back to His Highness! ”
There are more than a dozen yellow mud cakes on the table.
Li Zhi glanced at Luo Tong and laughed weirdly: "Luo Tong, why don't you try it first?" ”
"No, no......."
Luo Tong pulled his legs and ran!
Are you kidding!
Dirt can also be eaten?
"This kid is running pretty fast, hehe...... Envoy Li Nan, why don't you try it? If you can eat it, I'm sure I can too! ”
"Yes!"
Li Nan picked up a piece of yellow mud cake and took a bite.
However, he didn't chew it a few times before he spit it out.
"What's wrong? Is it bad taste? ”
"Alas!" Li Nan said: "During this time, I have been eating Datang food, and I am almost used to it. Now eating yellow mud, I feel that it is difficult to swallow. Your Highness, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, or don't try it. This food ...... Maybe he shouldn't be called food, so let's throw it away! ”
